Clearly the right person to ask about stuff like Image:OE-table.png is Dox and Dox alone; and as for the OBD screenshots, asking a grouped question about them on ssg's talk page was also the sensible thing to do: fewer edits, less time spent typing and clicking for everyone involved. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 16:28, 5 June 2008 (CEST) | ||
